Plant Needs
Sunlight
Bright indirect light; tolerates low indoor light but grows best in filtered sunlight; avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch
Watering
Allow the top 2 cm of soil to dry completely between waterings; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, as succulent leaves store moisture

Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy; water when top layer dries
Fertilization
Diluted balanced liquid feed every 4 weeks. Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth enters a dormant phase to prevent fertilizer burn
Eggshell powder topdress：Grind dried eggshells to a fine powder; sprinkle a thin layer on the soil surface every 3 months to boost calcium levels without adding excess nitrogenPruning
- Remove yellow or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a tidy rosette appearance
- Trim leggy stems in early spring to encourage bushier, more compact growth
- Pinch back new leaf tips to promote dense rosette formation
